Leatherman Super Tool 300 EOD Molle Sheath Molle Brown Sheath

This tool is probably the only tool you would need besides a hammer 🔨 It truly works great. It definitely takes less space than if you had each tool separate. The knife in it is strong and lo g enough to cut just about anything. I use mostly the pliers, the cable cutters, wire strippers, the screw drivers and the knife. It actually would make a great house warming present for somebody that doesn’t have tools.

Overall a great tool, just wanted to make a short point. I'm left handed and I noticed that when you use the pliers with your left hand and grab onto the tool with your fingertips to open up the pliers, you sometimes tend to reach the knife blade with your fingertips, pulling the knife slightly open. With the sheeps foot blade, it's not a problem, but if it happens with the plain edge clip point, the point of the blade gets exposed and it seems you might cut yourself if you're not careful. Might be something to think about for further products. Maybe this issue has been pointed out before, but I figured I'd mention it all the same.

I got this for my fiances birthday and he absolutely loves it so far! He likes how many trinkets there are and it includes an extra nail file and the little pouch to keep it secure. We have had times where we need it whether its the bottle opener, the little screwdriver attachment or a knife to slice a package open real quick. Its heavy and sturdy looks well built. He is super excited to go camping with it next month! The one thing he does complain about that its sometimes too difficult to open one of the things he needs and its hard to close it without pinching a finger sometimes.

"SUPER TOOL"

I have a Wave,OHT,Surge, A Orginal ST and The 300. I have had the 300 for 15+ years. Sent it back once for a warranty issue. Can't remember what for. But this tool is my go to for my EDC. I have done building maintenance,electrical, carpentry, HVAC and all jobs between my whole career. I started my career with one of the other brands tools it was small pinched my hands and was ineffective. That all changed the day I recieved my first ST. It was great i didnt like the tool and knife lock and unlock.Years later I purchased my first ST 300 and it changed my world. I so not EVER leave my house without at least one of my Leathermans either on me or in one of my vehicles. I have purchased them for my wife's, sons and daughters vehicles.

I so not EVER leave my house without at least one of my Leathermans either on me or in one of my vehicles. I have purchased them for my wife's, sons and daughters vehicles. I recently recieved as a gift from my youngest son the Gerber Center Drive. That is supposedly according to them be better than Leathermans multitools. Let me tell you if my son hadn't have purchased it for me I would returned it for a CHARGE TTi.But like I started of saying my ST 300 is my old friend and constant go to. There are many reasons why but for the most important reason is the reliability and quality.I purchased a Surge with the intention of switching to it. Although the tool is every bit equal to the ST 300. I have found the weight is more and that keeps me from switching out.

A monster with some tweaking

Ive owned and used a Wave for 8 years and decided to make the jump to a bigger tool, I settled on the ST300 as its replacement. The ST300 is comfortable in the hand and the classical design is simple to clean, use, and mod. The ST300 is not much heavier than the Wave but quite a bit lighter than the surge. The tools on it are all slightly larger than on the Wave and interestingly due to the t-shank adapter on the surge the file and wood saw both have a decent amount more usable cutting length than on the Surge. One other thing to note is even though the ST300 is a large tool the plier head has nearly the same dimensions, except for the length, as the Wave's so despite it being larger and more powerful it still retains much of the "agility" of the Wave plier head.

As much as like the ST300 I had to mod mine to get the tools on it I saw fit hence the 4 stars (also the screws used to hold it together are a joke), I purchased both an ST300M and an ST300 EOD. I used the ST300M frame and mashed the two together, I'm left with a standard awl, bit driver, small flat head (for use on rotary tool bits and carburetor screws), the massive ST300M pry bar, combo edge blade, wood saw, file, the t-shank adapter for hack saw blades, and of course the pliers. Its now have a highly capable tool and that performs very well. The only thing missing is a pocket clip... When compared to other multi tools from other brands I've researched and used Leatherman's have consistently been more capable, more useful, and higher quality. The ST300 is the pinnacle of plier based multi tools, no gimmicks just ready to do work.

Best Multi-tool Around

I use to be a Gerber multi-tool user and was for years.When it was time to finally replace the Gerber, my research led me to the Leatherman Supertool 300.Since May of 2010, I have used nothing but.As a truck driver over the road (for 18 years), I wanted a multi-tool that could handle a number of diffrrent tasks.The Supertool 300 fit the bill, and the best part, it was 100% American made.I lost my first tool by inadvertently leaving it on top of a load.The second I had for 4 years and accidentally knocked it off the dock I was fishing on in Texas. It's probably still at the bottom of the lake.The third was stolen at a truck stop in Kansas when I left it sitting on a package and turned my back to talk to a clerk.

Grrr!The one I have now is and should be my last one so I had it custom printed.For 12 years, it has been the only multi-tool I have used.It's sturdy, holds a good cutting edge, takes very little maintenance, and like I said earlier, it's 100% American made.If your on the fence, let me tell you, YOU can't go wrong with a Leatherman, and they have plenty of options and tools for whatever you need.

Best Multi-tool Ever!

My husband has had several different Leatherman tools over the last 30 years. It doesn't matter if he's going to work, church, a doctors appt. or the grocery store. If he leaves the house his Leatherman is on his belt. I wish I had a dime for everytime someone's asked him over the years, "Got your Leatherman with you?" Just for my husband to respond with "Never leave home without it." The Super Tool is by far his favorite. He says it has the perfect amount and variety of tools on it for any job. When he has to send it in for repairs or adjustments he's just not himself until it's returned. Our daughters & I purchased this second one for him for Father's Day this year. This way he has a back-up Leatherman to use while one's "in the shop." We had this one customized a ... MoreMy husband has had several different Leatherman tools over the last 30 years.

My husband loves it, as he has all his Leatherman tools. Very nice job guys & gals! Keep up the great work!

Good quality, low practicality.

I must admit, the Super Tool 300 is a high quality rugged multitool. However, it’s lacking in practicality. Here are some of the reasons:-The pliers are not spring loaded-It doesn’t have scissors, an essential multitool feature.-Way too many flathead screwdrivers. One would have been enough, maybe two if they added a bit holder that can hold other types of bits. The other two flathead screwdrivers are just a waste of potential.-It is difficult to open. I manage to open my other multitools one-handedly, but even with my high hand-dexterity, this one really requires both hands.-No customization options. The C4 punch can be unscrewed, but I’ve yet to find any other attachments, which sucks because I don’t use the puncher.-The detachable saw is nice, but just like ... MoreI must admit, the Super Tool 300 is a high quality rugged multitool.

It’d be nice to swap the C4 puncher and saw blade with other more practical attachments.All in all, it’s a nice multitool, but given the wasted potential of what it could have been, it is overpriced for what it is. You are paying for quality, brand, and novelty… NOT practicality.I only find myself using it on a pinch if I don’t have my other multitools around, and even then, I only find myself using the knife or maybe the wire cutters.I find it ridiculous that I paid $130 for the Super Tool 300, but I find myself using a $40 Gerber of similar quality at x10 times the frequency.

No quality control

Super tool 300, with special engraving. For what I paid this tool should come perfect. It is EXTREMELY over tight. I know it’s news but this takes 2 hands and a significant amount of force to close. I have been carrying leatherman since 2000 and own 7 of the tools. I’d say from 2015 era on, the quality control is not there. With the exception of the free P4, my surge, wave, and super tool have arrived beyond stiff. I know Leatherman produces thousands of multi tools. However no way did the last 3 out of 4 just happen to be the one in a thousand bad ones. I’m not happy with it.

Solid Tool with a great selection of implements

The tool it self is really good and solid. The joints and pivot on the plier head on the black version are REALLY stiff so it will take some time to rub off that black coating where moving parts meet to get it to move smoother. Same goes for the implements. They are pretty tough to open and feel like a bunch of grit is in between them. Again I'm pretty sure that's just the black coating because I've never heard of anyone having this issue on non black coated multi tools from any brand. When you get the tool it will be coated in a decent layer of oil you will need to clean off or you will constantly get it all over your hands. I mean this sucker is GREAZY. You don't need to wash it with water. Wiping it with a dry paper towel will do just fine. The oil is likely to ... MoreThe tool it self is really good and solid.

You don't need to wash it with water. Wiping it with a dry paper towel will do just fine. The oil is likely to prevent rusting while it sits on a shelf or in a warehouse. The Super Tool 300 has pretty much every tool you would want in a well rounded multitool plus you can get the bit driver kit and use Leatherman's flat bits or if those break and are out of stock you can use regular 1/4 inch bits with that driver kit as well. The copy of the Super Tool 300 I received came with the newer version of their replaceable wire cutters on the plier head. They are lower quality wire cutters and when they break Leatherman will sell you or send you the same wire cutters. They are same ones that come with the new Leatherman Arc so expect them to break frequently. They're almost as bad as those carbide cutters from the other brand. What you can do to avoid breaking them is do not put the wire you are cutting toward the very back of the plier jaws because you will end up cutting with the weak rounded corner of the new cutters. You won't cut through the wire back there anyway and the cutters will crumble. Instead cut with the middle or more forward section of the cutters. I'm going to look for third party options that won't break as easy in the mean time. It's the weakest part of any Leatherman tool now which is a huge disappointment. I would honestly rather have non replaceable cutters instead of these. I have never had an issue with non replaceable cutters breaking anyways and it would mean you'd have a beefier plier head with that extra bit of metal support instead of being cut out for the new chinsy cutters. Looking on the inside, the tools built in are all very well made out of what I understand to be 420 high carbon steel. Some people like to scoff at this metal but it is comparable to S30V but is much better suited to multi tool applications helps keep some cost down. 420HC is also not bad for blade steel. Yes you'll sharpen it more than harder steels but it will sharpen MUCH easier too. It's good steel. Don't let some knife snob tell you otherwise and honestly i'd rather mess up a 420HC blade than a Magnacut blade. Mine does have some slack when it's closed meaning that it will open just a tiny bit when closed. It doesn't bother me too much but if that's something that really bugs you it's something to think about. The only bad thing about this tool really is just the change in wire cutters. They're trash. I don't know why Leatherman switched to them. Likely some kind of cost cutting measure or the deal they had with the original factory fell through or something. I dunno. What ever it is the cutters are a big problem. Especially since it's one of the most used parts of any multiplier. Another thing that bugged me, and it has nothing to do with the tool, was the shipping and customer service. I paid extra for 1-2 day shipping and didn't receive it for 7 days. The shipping company (UPS) was not the problem. UPS got my order to me within the time advertised barring the first of the year because no shipper ships on January 1st which is fine. The problem was Leatherman took 3 days to process my order. 3 days to process an order of only 2 items is odd to say the least. I emailed them about it and customer service never responded. Makes me wonder how great that 25 year warranty is going to be if customer service doesn't respond to simple queries. Again other than that the Super Tool 300 is one awesome heavy duty (minus the cutters) and I think any one would be jazzed to have one.
